Anyway... if you haven't already I would recommend doing a little research on the net to see how much the records you have are going for. A record is only worth what someone is willing to pay, regardless of what books may tell you. A shop will on average only give you at best a third of what a record is worth as obviously they want to make a profit on it. Condition is everything though (unless it's unbelievably rare), so most items that you see going on ebay for big money are likely to be in excellent to Mint condition, below that level of condition you can start knocking big sums off the price.

I didn't realise Jim ever did sell much vinyl, he used to just keep it all upstairs in the market! He started selling it on Ebay for a while but I think he ended up buying more than what he sold so I don't know if he still does it!
